The police department reported an incident that took place on Friday at around 4:45 PM in the Akropolis shopping center in Kaunas, Lithuania. During a routine search of a minor suspected of theft, which was initiated after he was detained by security staff, the 16-year-old became aggressive and resisted arrest, confronting officers from the Kaunas County Police. Fortunately, no officers sought medical attention despite the physical altercation that ensued.

The teenager was identified as being under the influence of alcohol, registering a blood alcohol concentration of 2.10 permille, which indicates a significant level of intoxication. Following the disturbance, he was taken into custody, and a pre-trial investigation into his resistance against law enforcement was launched. The incident raises questions about the challenges that law enforcement faces when dealing with young offenders, especially those under the influence of alcohol.

This occurrence is indicative of ongoing problems within the community regarding youth behavior and security in public spaces, particularly in large venues like shopping centers. It underscores the need for effective strategies to address youth delinquency and ensure that both security personnel and law enforcement can adequately manage similar future incidents.
